One way to cool a gas is to let it expand. When a certain gas under a pressure of 5.00 106 Ha at 25.0C is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final pressure is 1.07 106 Pa. (a) What is the initial temperature of the gas in Kelvin? (b) What is the final temperature of the system? (See Section 10.4.)
What does it mean to say that two systems are in thermal equilibrium?
A hollow aluminum cylinder 20.0 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 20.0C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 20.0C. The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 80.0C. (a) How much turpentine overflows? (b) What is the volume of the turpentine remaining in the cylinder at 80.0C? (c) If the combination with this amount of turpentine is then cooled back to 20.0C, how far below the cylinders rim does the turpentines surface recede?
Assume you are measuring the specific heat of a sample of originally hot metal by using a calorimeter containing water. Because your calorimeter is not perfectly insulating, energy can transfer by heat between the contents of the calorimeter and the room. To obtain the most accurate result for the specific heat of the metal, you should use water with which initial temperature? (a) slightly lower than room temperature (b) the same as room temperature (c) slightly higher than room temperature (d) whatever you like because the initial temperature makes no difference
How do heat transfer and internal energy differ? In particular, which can be stored as such in a system and which cannot?
A 3.00-g lead bullet at 30.0C is fired at a speed of 2.40 102 m/s into a large, fixed block of ice at 0C, in which it becomes embedded. (a) Describe the energy transformations that occur as the bullet is cooled. What is the final temperature of the bullet? (b) What quantity of ice melts?
The latent heat of vaporization for water at room temperature is 2 430 J/g. Consider one particular molecule at the surface of a glass of liquid water, moving upward with sufficiently high speed that it will be the next molecule to join the vapor. (a) Find its translational kinetic energy. (b) Find its speed. Now consider a thin gas made only of molecules like that one. (c) What is its temperature? (d) Why are you not burned by water evaporating from a vessel at room temperature?
An aluminum calorimeter with a mass of 100 g contains 250 g of water. The calorimeter and water are in thermal equilibrium at 10.0C. Two metallic blocks are placed into the water. One is a 50.0-g piece of copper at 80.0C. The other has a mass of 70.0 g and is originally at a temperature of 100C. The entire system stabilizes at a final temperature of 20.0C. (a) Determine the specific heat of the unknown sample. (b) Using the data in Table 19.1, can you make a positive identification of the unknown material? Can you identify a possible material? (c) Explain your answers for part (b).
Equal masses of substance A at 10.0C and substance B at 90.0C are placed in a well-insulated container of negligible mass and allowed to come to equilibrium. If the equilibrium temperature is 75.0Q which substance has the larger specific heat? (a) substance A (b) substance B (c) The specific heats are identical. (d) The answer depends on the exact initial temperatures. (e) More information is required.
An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several possible processes. Which of the following processes results in the most work done on the gas? (a) isothermal (b) adiabatic (c) isobaric (d) The work done is independent of the process.
(a) It is difficult to extinguish a fire on a crude oil tanker, because each liter of crude oil releases 2.80107J of energy when burned. To illustrate this difficulty, calculate the number of liters of water that must be expended to absorb the energy released by burning 1.00 L of crude oil, it the water has its temperature raised from 20.0C to 100C, it boils, and the resulting steam is raised to 300C. (b) Discuss additional complications caused by the fact that crude oil has a smaller density than water.
